If the n810 is lightyears ahead of other devices, that just accentuates how
far behind the other devices are.

Yeah, I did get the console. And a penguin while booting. Not much else…

Well frankly I do not even want to run vi. I prefer nano for a handheld
device. And "apt-get install nano" fails with "couldn't find package nano".
So I have to build it myself. Wait, aren't we talking about running
*Debian*? And what is Debian without its thousands of packages, ready to be
installed with a simple command?
